      @scottalanmiller I think you just gave me a new nightmare - I am hesitant to use a straight razor while both feet are dry and planted squarely on the bathroom floor.

      I'm always amazed that my grandparent's generation didn't have more accidental deaths by straight razor... both of my grandfathers used one for most their lives... wasn't until recently that they started to use a safety or butterfly razor.

                      I think that a number of criteria must be met prior to the donor actually being charged. And since it was suspended, they will not be, thus they got's no money....

                          Wooh lets donate all of our money to something that doesn't exist... sounds great.

                          What I find insane about crowd funding sites like these is, once the "requested" amount is reached, that the funding page isn't closed for donations.

                          Seems like it totally makes sense.

                          If they need more money, they should have to open a new CFP.

                            I read this elsewhere but it seems like the most probable answer to all this is that they're looking for VC funding and need a prototype. To get the prototype they need a ton of cash. Enter suckers on crowd funding. They may even have good intentions of following through in a few years if they ever make it to market.

                              That may be. With the advancements in laser technology, fiber optics and such, there should be a spectrum that would work. The 'metal blade' has been a focus of Science Fiction and tech heads for a long while. If we are going for a laser scalpel, why not the razor.

                                Aye, and the razor is far more probable at this point than the mini laser sword

                                  Surely you jest - while it's a lightsaber, lasers are used all time in surgery today, duration and intensity set how deep the incision is.

                                      They are mighty close. About 6 years ago, my wife had some dental work done. The dentist used a laser to actually cut some of the skin in her mouth away. I could see a lazer razor being a reality. The trick will be making it strong enough to cut the hair while not melting away my face.

                                        The devices my docs use are hand held, just not wireless. They get power from a box/the wall.

                                            @MattSpeller I question whether or not they have a working prototype... but I think it is doable... If I had money, I'd invest... I hate having to shave, lol.
